Enfield continues expanding Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) in Schools, as part of the government's Green Paper ambitions to transform CYP mental health support in England. The Enfield MHST started in October 2019 working with a small number of early implementer schools to establish its relationships and support the training of a new workforce (The Education and Mental Health Practitioners), has gradually increased in waves to more schools in the borough. We are now looking for enthusiastic and motivated qualified Education and Mental Health Practitioners to work within Enfield CAMHS MHST as part of their placement, and then full time post qualifying, to support the team.
